Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These arms of mine
They are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue
These arms of mine
They are yearning
Yearning from wanting you
And if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
[Verse 2]
These arms of mine
They are burning
Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
They are wanting
Wanting to hold you
And if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
[Bridge]
Come on, come on, baby
Just be my little woman
Just be my lover
[Outro]
Oh, I need me somebody
Somebody to treat me right
Oh, I need your arms
Loving arms to hold me tight
And I, I, I need, I need your
I need your tender lips
To hold, hold me, tell me when
I'm right now
